==1960s== In 1962 Farson made a documentary for Associated-Rediffusion about pub entertainment in the [[East End of London]] where he lived, called ''Time Gentlemen Please'' (this led directly to the company's later series ''[[Stars and Garters]]'', with which Farson was not, however, personally involved).{{Citation needed|date=August 2015}} Soon after this he bought a pub, ''The Waterman's Arms'', in the East End with the explicit intent of reviving old-time [[music hall]], but it failed. He later said the money he lost would have been enough to buy a row of houses at the time (1963). By the end of 1964 he had resigned from Associated-Rediffusion (by then renamed Rediffusion London). He kept a lower public profile for the rest of his life. He moved from London to live in his parents' house in [[Devon]] (his father had died in 1960), but continued to make regular visits to the pubs and drinking clubs of [[Soho]].
